part of medibac clearing product system

mediBac clearing®

Clearer skin starts now: bring the four contributing factors of acne under control.

The MediBac Clearing® system works to treat, clear and prevent adult acne while addressing the needs of adult skin. Most products and treatments for acne are designed for teenage skin, making them too harsh and irritating for adult acne sufferers. MediBac Clearing® controls acne without compromising skin’s integrity, which means skin is clearer and healthier.

how it works

Dermalogica’s MediBac Clearing® system is formulated specifically to treat adult acne. Each product, with its unique acne-fighting and clearing ingredients, is designed to be layered upon the skin to provide around-the-clock, maximum control of the main factors that contribute to acne.

I've been dealing with cystic adult acne and have tried everything to get rid of it. Even over the counter creams and gels (which just dried out an agrivated my skin) finally this little number calmed and cleared up my acne. I am so happy!

I have tried everything from the most expensive product lines to the drug store acne aisle. This stuff actually works for me and my skin issues!!!

The mattifier has taken the place of my primer, the face wash makes my skin feel and look clean, the oil control lotion doesn't feel like an oil slick on my face, and by the end of the day I don't need to blot my face. The sebum face mask I've used once so far and you could definitely feel a difference after.

My blemishes are fading as well so I don't have to cake on the concealer and powder. This is after one week of use!!! And it's not painful to use like other products that have burned my skin!!

To give a little background on my skin I don't normally break out. My whole teenage experience was practically acne free with only 1 or two showing up on occasion - not including those pesky nose blackheads that I can't ever remember not having. I'm now 29 and for the last 6 month my skin has gone from even tones and makeup optional to struggling and the worst acne of my life. I'm talking all types, blackheads, Whitehead's and maybe between 7&13 cystic things going at a time. Before trying this I had done the whole organic DIY route with the honey, the homemade masks, organic face washes, and prior dermatologist recommended antibiotics & expensive face creams, Mary Kay, & proactive. The problem I found with each of these remedies was different, but to sum up I had to compromise somewhere; healthy gut flora down the tube, nice looking skin- but with hidden painful cystic acne, clear skin & totally dried out, or painful treatments that burn all day but with actual results. I bought this set in an act of desperation. It was recommended for my skin type, I got the pre-cleanse to go with it and several samples- some of which I loved the feeling of but the end result of this product is that it hasn't slowed down this bizarre cataclysmic warfair happening on my face and now my neck. I was hopeful though, the first two weeks of use I saw actual healing, with nothing new to report, but at he end of week 3 there was. In an effort to give Dermalogica the chance I felt it deserved-being my Hail Mary-I bought another set for month two, telling myself ok, this is going to work or I am just getting a face transplant- this is more disappointing than any of the other serums, treatments & therapies that i've Ever done because I started to see results and not only after throwing away all my other-once upon a time-effective products did I realize that this one was destined to join the bunch. To make matters worse, no refunds if the product has been used. Buy with caution & good luck!

Merchant response: Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. I apologize for your negative response. Acne can be caused by genetics, pollution, life style, and several other internal and external factors. If the acne triggers are not addressed, it can be an uphill battle to reduce the acne.

I am happy to email you to find the right regimen or help with an exchange.

I absolutely love this kit to treat adult acne. The only issue with this listing is that the photo shown includes the concealing spot treatment, but the kit I received includes the oil free lotion instead. Which I absolutely adore & have purchased the full size of, but I was looking forward to trying out the spot treatment.

I'm 28 and I have "adult acne". I have congestion mostly on my chin (a lot) and the occasional break out on my forehead. I like real natural products but using just essential oils wasn't cutting it. I had a facial done at my local Ulta and was convinced I needed to change my routine. After switching to this kit and adding a couple other products (Breakout Control and Daily microfoliant) I would have to say my skin over all is so much more even and healthier. I'm not a 100% clear but I have faith. Remember! These products may make your skin worse before it gets better. So stick with it and have amazing results!!

I have been using this product for over a month and have not given me any results.

Merchant response: Hello,

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Acne can be caused by internal factors like hormones or genetics. It can also be caused by external factors like lifestyle, pollution, etc.

As long as the internal and external triggers are present, topical acne products will only manage acne (not reverse it). It is important to be patient and persistent with the products and to have realistic expectations.

That being said, I encourage you to reach out to use at webhelp@dermalogica.com for help with an exchange or return.

I love the kits because you can try all the products before committing to a larger size. This kit does not disappoint. Using the products in correct order, every morning, prepare my skin for a flawless day! I love using the mask at night to erase the day's grime.

I am a 21 year old female with oily, acne prone skin. I have had acne for years. I had SUCH high hopes for these products because of the price and other positive reviews. However, this kit didn't seem to really do anything for my skin. I followed the instructions religiously, and still no difference in my acne.

The products smell fantastic (almost like lemon?) and feel great on the skin. The mattifying cleanser felt great on my face, but the overnight clearing gel felt sticky.

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Oil Free Matte SPF 30 pairs well with this kit.

Kind Regards,Bernadette

Q:

I am 24 years old and I have had cystic acne for years. I've done other treatments and regimens but none of them have worked. I believe it is mostly hormonal acne but it is active for many days or weeks and then always ends up leaving marks and scars. It is mostly on my cheeks and occasionally on my chin area. Would this kit work for me to clear and prevent my acne and acne scarring or is there another combination of products that would be better suited for my situation?

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. The MediBac Kit is for a full face of acne and Ultra Calming Kit is not recommended for breakout prone skin. You may prefer a customized regimen like Precleanse, Special Cleansing Gel, Daily Microfoliant, Ultra Calming Mist, and Active Moist.

Q:

Hello. I'm 29 years old and have been suffering from adult acne for almost two years now. I found Dermalogica about 6 months ago and I noticed a big difference almost immediately. My skin was clear of cystic-like acne until about 5 weeks ago, when I found out I was pregnant! Needless to say, I think my hormones are making me break out again. With that said, I want to continue using the mediBac line, because I really do love the products and it makes my face feel so much better, but I want to be sure there is nothing in the ingredients that I need to worry about with my pregnancy. Are there other products within the mediBac line that would be recommended? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. You can use Special Cleansing Gel, Multi Active Toner, Breakout Control and Active Moist.

Kind Regards,Bernadette

Q:

Hey.I am 21 year old and I have an acne problem from four years. I have used every single product other than yours but the effects are temporary. Now I have acne on my chin and on my forehead and some on my cheeks. I few red marks on my right cheek since last year and it's not getting away. Is this kit will be suitable for my acne and dark spots?

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. This kit is for a full face of acne. For blackheads, I recommend the Normal/Oily Kit. You can also benefit from a professional treatment, like a Blackhead Relief Microzone.
